## Abstract

An electronic apparatus and a method for controlling an electronic apparatus that includes receiving a user motion command, in response to the receiving the user motion command, displaying information regarding a motion task corresponding to the received user motion command, and performing the motion task corresponding to the received user motion command after the information regarding the motion task has been displayed for a predetermined time.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for controlling an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving a user motion command;
in response to the receiving the user motion command, displaying information regarding a motion task corresponding to the received user motion command; and
performing the motion task corresponding to the received user motion command after the information regarding the motion task has been displayed for a predetermined time.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the performing the motion task comprises, in response to a motion input corresponding to the user motion command being maintained until the predetermined time after the information regarding the motion task is displayed has elapsed, performing the motion task.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
in response to a motion input corresponding to the user motion command being released before the predetermined time after the information regarding the motion task is displayed has elapsed, canceling execution of the motion task.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the displaying the information regarding the motion task comprises providing feedback regarding a remaining time of the predetermined time after which the motion task will be performed.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
in response to the user motion command being input, displaying a first GUI element which provides visual feedback regarding a recognized user motion,
wherein the displaying the information regarding the motion task comprises displaying a second GUI element which represents the information regarding the motion task in association with the displayed first GUI element.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method according to claim 5, wherein the second GUI element includes an icon representing a function which will be performed according to the motion task.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method according to claim 6, wherein the second GUI element further comprises a graphic element representing a remaining time of the predetermined time after which the motion task will be performed.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method according to claim 7, wherein the icon included in the second GUI is displayed inside a circular element, and the graphic element included in the second GUI is displayed outside the circular element at a border area of the circular element.

### Claim 9

An electronic apparatus, comprising:
a motion input unit configured to receive a user motion command;
a display; and
a controller which, in response to the user motion command being received by the motion input unit, is configured to control the display to display information regarding a motion task corresponding to the user motion command received by the motion input unit and perform the motion task corresponding to the user motion command received by the motion input unit after the information regarding the motion task has been displayed for a predetermined time.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the controller, in response to a motion input corresponding to the user motion command being maintained until the predetermined time after the information regarding the motion task is displayed has elapsed, is configured to perform the motion task.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the controller, in response to a motion input corresponding to the user motion command being released before the predetermined time after the information regarding the motion task is displayed has elapsed, is configured to cancel execution of the motion task.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to provide feedback regarding a remaining time of the predetermined time after which the motion task will be performed.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the controller, in response to the user motion being input, is configured to display a first GUI element which provides visual feedback regarding a recognized user motion, and display a second GUI element which represents the information regarding the motion task in association with the displayed first GUI element.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The apparatus according to claim 13, wherein the second GUI element includes an icon representing a function which will be performed according to the motion task.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the second GUI element further comprises a graphic element representing a remaining time of the predetermined time after which the motion task will be performed.

### Claim 16

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a method for controlling an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving a user motion command;
in response to the receiving the user motion command, displaying information regarding a motion task corresponding to the received user motion command; and
performing the motion task corresponding to the received user motion command after the information regarding the motion task has been displayed for a predetermined time.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 16, wherein the performing the motion task comprises, in response to a motion input corresponding to the user motion command being maintained until the predetermined time after the information regarding the motion task is displayed has elapsed, performing the motion task.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 16, further comprising:
in response to a motion input corresponding to the user motion command being released before the predetermined time after the information regarding the motion task is displayed has elapsed, canceling execution of the motion task.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 16, wherein the displaying the information regarding the motion task comprises providing feedback regarding a remaining time of the predetermined time after which the motion task will be performed.

### Claim 20 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 16, further comprising:
in response to the user motion command being input, displaying a first GUI element which provides visual feedback regarding a recognized user motion,
wherein the displaying the information regarding the motion task comprises displaying a second GUI element which represents the information regarding the motion task in association with the displayed first GUI element.
